Our specialized QPix™ 400 Series pins are designed to pick, plate, and replicate a wide range of microorganisms such as bacteria, phage, and yeast cells.

Different microorganisms can have different colony morphologies. Our unique portfolio of organism-specific pins come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and textures, thus ensuring maximum viability and subsequent growth for each colony that is picked.

Pins are not fired; they only retract into the head when they hit a solid surface

To "spot" liquid from source plate onto agar or filter

Requires use of gridding pins

Pins can be removed and replaced quickly. Pin type must match picking head (e.g. use rearraying pins with the rearraying head) to ensure optimal performance. If extensive decontamination/cleaning is required, the entire head can be entirely dismantled and re-assembled in a few minutes.
